Lots of news on Wavves front; for the Guardian review of Wavves, go here. This in from the Wavves publicity people:
"To avoid any potential confusion (and there is a lot of potential for confusion here) we'll break this down for you nice and slow:

"* Both albums have very, very similar covers
"* WAVVVES by WAVVES is being released on Fat Possum (not De Stijl, as we originally announced) on March 17, 2009
"Bio: When not watching Cops or drinking 40s in the park, Nathan Daniel William blogs on classic rap and records waves and waves of effortlessly great slack/crust/beach/punk compressed onto 4-track cassette in his San Diego bedroom.

WAVVES is the sound of today's American youth! It's a new day rising and as the wavves get higher, they gotta converge. You can choose to stay down in the curl, but if you follow the winner, we can meet up on the crest..."
